Reading about Alvin's problems in the past, my only concern would be;
Has Carrot triggered it before?
He has been stasis free since march, but the last thing you want is anything that may upset his gut at all.
I think personally, if it was me, i wouldn't risk it, but you know your buns

yeah thats my gut feeling too
maybe ill give just the greens bit... he did have carrot in his diet last time his gut balance went to hell but i dont know if that was the trigger because he used to get more pellets and fruit too

My guess would be that a small carrot is likely to have higher sugar content than a big grizzly old carrot, so if you want to 'do' carrot to give part of a big carrot :lol: Different types of carrot would be better or worse also.
If it helps any, my bunnies get a little bit of carrot (an inch or two) several times a week - not that that's any recommendation as they aren't the most stasis-free of bunnehs.:roll:

Once the caecum is well-balanced then minor upsets to it's flora or food that in the past would have been a trigger when bun's caecum was hypersensitised and poorly balanced is less likely to be an issue if given as a one-off, the gut becomes more resilient the longer it has been well balanced. However, that said, I would be very cautious. I don't think it would necessarily do any harm, one little piece of one as a treat, but I would not make it a regular thing as then the high carbohydrate treats are likely to put Alvin back in that place he was before and his old problems are likely to resurface.

Knowing how you get when he has stasis, I wouldn't even consider it. It's not worth it. Compare how you would feel if you couldn't give him the carrot (slightly sad) to how you would feel if he got stasis (suicidal). A no brainer, I think
